Dear Ld. Members:
My question is whether the cross-FIR can be introduced for the first time during EVIDENCE on cross-examination?
Facts are that police sent one case to court and neglected to send the cross-case. Now evidence is going on and I want to highlight the contents of the cross-FIR to the court.
How to do that? Please explain.

You are doing correctly only. Proceed further.

Anything in defence can be introduced, if that can help and acceptable to the court. But, you have not stated, for what specific purpose you want to be served by introducing mere FIR without any investigation result?

Thank you, Usha-ji.
Dhingra-ji, the stage is PW and not DW. My point is that when the police did not investigate the other FIR then how can that be fair. This will certainly help the accused.

Who is the PW involved? If the investigating officer, such a measure could be counterproductive in that evidence could be led to show that the accused had filed a false FIR.
